DTMM! Family

NIKKI LEVY (Creator/Host)

Growing up with an eccentric Jewish mother in Queens, NYC, Nikki heard there was an amazing place where people didn’t have to tell their mothers everything and you could keep…secrets! Shocked, she wondered, “where is this faraway land?” and “are they accepting new members?” But her mother insisted it was bullshit, and fed her some brisket.

A development executive in Hollywood for over 10 years, Nikki has overseen numerous films including Academy Award-nominated FROST/NIXON, Fox Animation’s EPIC and Paramount’s upcoming release MONSTER TRUCKS. She loves all things comedy, and teaches storytelling, creative writing and various courses on “the business.” She is a graduate of Northwestern University’s Radio/Television/Film program, and lives in Los Angeles with her pit bull, Leib.

JAKE WEBB (Executive PRODUCER)

Head of Talent and works alongside Nikki to produce the show and build the Don't Tell My Mother brand into the massive property we know it will be.
